Reyna Rivera is a glass artist originally from San Diego, California that now works and lives in Wrightwood, California. Reyna often draws inspiration from nature rooted from her Indigenous and Hispanic heritage to create highly detailed glass art. At age thirty-three she has been sculpting, blowing and carving glass since 2012. Native Americans, hispanics, and females are underrepresented in glass art currently. Reyna offers a unique perspective and style that the glass art world is lacking. Insta: @Reynasays

A mixed media artist, Intentional Creativity® teacher and SoulCollage® facilitator, I am intrigued and inspired by the raw wild beauty inherent in the great and small wonders of Life itself. I am informed by the vast sensuality of the dynamic energies of the rhythmic seasons and cycles of Nature interconnected with the spiral dance of birth, life, death, and rebirth. I dance with wild muses honoring and conjuring the uncharted images desiring to come forth; unfurling new perspectives and wisdom." insta: @karinghands

Is an illustrator born and raised in Argentina. She trained as a traditional animator in Buenos Aires and later lived in Germany before moving to California 8 years ago. Her work incorporates traditional techniques such as watercolors and acrylics and draws inspiration from many different genres.

I grew up in LA. Retired, at 50 to become a contractor. One day I made a frame for an ax, in a heart and someone bought it. That was it! I moved up to Wrightwood, about 7 years ago. Got tired of the whole Art Scene in LA. Best move I've ever made. The Art is called assemblage. My overhead is low, because we throw everything away. I've been blessed, to sell quite a few pieces. It's a lifestyle, it's not a hobby. The day I can't make art, is the day I'll leave the Earth.

We are Regina and Steve! We create fun & fine jewelry with precious & simeprecious gems. Whether we are searching for the finest obsidian in Oregon, mining breathtaking opals in Australia or designing the unique pieces that you see here: gems, rocks & jewels are our passion! And we are so excited to share that with you! Please follow us on IG @ hog.feathers

I was born and raised in San Bernardino, CA. My profession was classic car and diesel mechanic before I retired in 2020. I have always had an enthusiasm for classic cars and art. I started drawing at a young age and took some drawing classes. In 2016, my stepmother encouraged me to try oil painting and I love being able to create realistic paintings.

I spent my youth doodling images of cartoon characters, caricatures of movie stars, T.V. personalities, and teachers to entertain friends. When I became a teenager I became serious in novelty art designing t-shirts for construction companies. After retiring, I was encouraged to develop my interest. In 2018 I began to take an interest in leathercrafts. I have mainly created functional objects like wallets, key chains, etc. Currently, I am moving more and more into leather tooling and the decorative side of leather work. 

Erin DeGroot is a photographer whose self-portraiture explores identity, transformation, and the dialogue between inner and outer worlds. Beginning in the darkroom more than twenty-five years ago, she learned to find light by shaping it from shadow—a practice that continues to define her work. Through luminous stillness and emotional honesty, she uses the camera as both mirror and witness, transforming self-portraiture into an act of reclamation and reverence: a way of becoming visible to oneself.

Tyler Wallis is an abstract multimedia artist specializing in digital techniques and analog collage. With no traditional art skills, he's something of an outsider. He's developed a unique process to create his dreamscapes, inspired by the thoughtful experimentation of the Surrealist and Abstract Expressionist movements. Using modeling and simulation software normally associated with fields such as CGI and architectural design, Tyler finds excitement in approaching art from unexpected new directions. His visual works blend dramatic perspectives with wildly expressionistic colors, exploring themes such as alienation and the expression of the inexpressible.
